To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS MOURADICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mojave, in the county of Kern and State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Sled, of which the following is a specification. This invention 'relates to sleds and more particularly to sleds adapted to be propelled y spears which are held in the hands of the user, and thrust into the snow or ice and I being forced backward so as to pushthe sled forward. v

Another object of my invention is to provide a sled which is very simple and cheap in construction and one which is very effective in use.

With these objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of arts, hereinafter fully described and pointe outin the claims. In the drawings forming a part of this specification :-Figure 1. is a perspective view of my improved sled showing the application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my improved sled. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the skirt supporting member. Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of my improved sled. Fig. 4 is an inverted plan view .of the sled. Fi 5 is a'sectional view through the, tongue s owing the manner of securing the foot rest. 1 Fig. 6 is a detail sec- -tional view of the foot rest.

In the drawings A indicates a air of runners provided with standards adjacent their ends adapted to fit in openings C, of

cross-bars O on which is secured a added seat bottom D provided with a back having hooks E, secured thereto on which a bag F is adapted to be carried.

' Secured to the underside'of thecro'ss-bar C are guide-plates G in which is slidably mounted a tongue H having a pin H secured in its rear end so as to revent the same from pulled out. A olt I is securedfin an opening in the other end of the tongue provided with a rin I on which-is mounted the,

eye J of the wire J, the ends of which are bent downwardly at J" and crossed and 0utwardly in opposite directions at J and then upwardly at formin a swin g foot rest. It will be readily seen that by sfiding the pole used when the sled is used by a woman.

Brackets L are secured to the under-side of the cross bar C at each end in which the spears M used to propel the sled are adapted to be carried. A hook N is secured to the front edge of the seat bottom to which a rope is ada ted to be attached when it is desired to pul the sled.

From the foregoin description it will be readily seen that I novel sled which can be propelled by the user by working the .arms at a moderate speed and one which will afford great amusements to boys andgirls.
